About Me

I was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada, and I still call it home. I've been writing speculative fiction (horror, fantasy, sci-fi) for several years, and have several published books. I also have a great interest in history and mythology, often working those themes into my stories.

I'm an indie author, and my books are available through several online retailers such as Amazon, Smashwords, and Barnes and Noble. Some of my more well known published works are the Killers and Demons series, Fairy Tale Fusion, Chronicles of the Undead, Ruined City, and Colours of Poetry.

I am not here for dating or romantic relationships, so don't even bother. If you are not interested in me as a writer, keep moving.
